Working in partnership with IDIA, astronomers involved in the LADUMA (Looking At the Distant Universe with the MeerKAT Array) project have discovered a powerful, energetic “megamaser” source in a galaxy almost five billion light years away from Earth. The LADUMA team is seeking a nickname for this source in one of South Africa’s eleven official languages, or in one of the languages of South Africa’s indigenous peoples. To learn more about the megamaser and submit a suggestion for its new name, please visit the link below by Friday, September 24, 2021 (Heritage Day).
